Updates from Nanoose: 30-90% of the sea cucumbers we saw were diseased/dying across 3 sites. A handful of wasting mottled stars, a few other wasting sea star species. Samples were collected for DFO and @IanH77, we're hoping to collect more samples in the future (1/3)

The race is on. Loaded logging trucks are streaming along Hwy 18 in @northcowichan at a rate of one every 4.6 minutes this afternoon (by my count over a one-hour period). Big logs; second-growth, too.
